Athletic Training Program

Sports Medicine at Central Connecticut State University

Sports Medicine at Central Connecticut State University has two basic and essentially
interrelated functions: Service to the intercollegiate athletic teams and Education in the Athletic Training Education Program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree.
The athletic training program 1) provides quality health care to the student athletes
of the university, and 2) to prepare the student athletic trainer to assume the role
of an entry-level athletic trainer upon graduation.

The athletic training staff strives to protect and return the injured student athlete
to sport participation as quickly and safely as possible. The athletic training staff
possesses knowledge in injury prevention; injury recognition, evaluation, and assessment;
immediate care; and the treatment, rehabilitation, and reconditioning of athletic
injuries. The staff maintains current in knowledge and skills through participation
in regular in-services and attendance at educational conferences annually.
